What are these little red guys? I tried to find a good picture of red bugs online but could find a picture as clear as this. I know there are some small flatworms in the tank just want to make sure I don't have anything that is too harmful.

The red thing is a nudi, google Vayssierea felis.

Just below it and off to the left in the top pic is a flatworm, google acerol flatworms.
 
These are spirorbid worms, if that’s what you’re referring to. They’re harmless

Thanks! Vayssierea felis and acerol flatworms, that's exactly what they look like. They sound harmless. Ill have to look into a wrasse for the flatworms. I haven't heard of one that will be good in less than a 30g tank. My tank is 22g with a 30 g sump.
 
A 6 line wrasse would work in your tank but they can kind of be butts sometimes. I've never had an issue with them as long as you don't have any similar shaped fish.
 
A possum wrasse would be perfect for that size tank but I dont know if they would eat what you have
